Subject: Software - Portfolio Tracking and Technical Analysis

Many software packages are available that support basic personal
finance and investment uses, such as managing a checkbook,
tracking expenses, and following the value of a portfolio.
Using a package can be handy for tracking transactions in mutual funds
and stocks, especially for active traders at tax time.
Many packages support various forms of technical analysis by drawing
charts using historical data, applying various T/A decision rules,
etc. Those packages usually include a large amount of historical
data, with many provisions for fetching current data via the 'net.

With the advent of online banking, many banks are offering software at
no charge, so be sure to ask locally.
